Not everything is perceived as it is provided by the environment. Depending on focus and attention perception can vary and therefore also the knowledge about the world. Virtual humans are sensing the virtual world, storing knowledge and using it to perform tasks. This paper describes our approach to model perceiving, storing and forgetting knowledge as the main regulation of tasks. We use different forms and levels of knowledge which can be independently adapted to different personalities and situations by combining computer graphics methods with psychological models.
